What are the early symptoms of pregnancy ?

Every woman is different, so they experience different symptoms of pregnancy. Not every woman has the same symptoms. Some of the most common early symptoms of pregnancy are described following. These symptoms may be caused by other things besides being pregnant. So the fact that some of these symptoms does not necessarily mean pregnancy. It is only confirmed by a pregnancy test.

Spotting and Cramping - 

- A few days after conception the fertilized egg attaches itself to wall of the uterus. This can cause
  one of the earliest signs of pregnancy spotting and cramping.
- That's called implantation bleeding. It occurs anywhere from 6 to 12 days after the egg is
  fertilized.
- The cramps resemble menstrual cramps, so some women mistake them and the bleeding for the
  start of their period. The bleeding and cramps are slight.
- Besides bleeding, a woman  may notice a white, milky discharge from her vagina. That's related
  to the thickening of the vagina's walls. The increased growth of cells lining the vagina causes the
  discharge.
- This discharge, which can continue throughout pregnancy, is typically harmless and doesn't
  require treatment.

Breast Changes -

Breast changes are very early sign of pregnancy. A woman's hormone levels rapidly change after conception. Because of the changes, her breasts may become swollen a week or two later. They may feel heavier or fuller or feel tender to the touch. The area around the nipples, called the areola, may also darken.
